Disgusting: DNC Chair Kaine Compares Republicans to Cannibals

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tim Kaine compared Republicans to the Donner Party. The Donners were a group of 19th-century American pioneers who turned to cannibalism.

"What we're seeing in the Republican Party is that they invited the Tea Party in and it's turning into the Donner Party, in some instances, because they're turning the energy and the ferocity against each other," said Kaine in response to a question by the Huffington Post, referring to the infamous group of 19th-century American pioneers who eventually had to turn to cannibalism to survive. He added that the divisions have given Democrats "some great opportunities in races that we wouldn't have absent the Tea Party candidates."

Kaine isn't even correct in the point he is trying to make. Tea Party candidates like Marco Rubio of Florida and Rand Paul of Kentucky are polling very well against their Democratic rivals.
